Does anyone have a copy of Sylvia Plath's poem 'Riddle'?

Question

Please, share it with me. I can't find it anywhere.

It is supposed to be in the book of Scholes: Text Book, An Introduction to Literary Language. p 62.

Probably it's not 'Metaphors'.

Answer 1

I think you might be talking about "Metaphors". Is this it?

Metaphors by Sylvia Plath
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.

Answer 2

I think you are probably looking for this poem; it's called "Metaphors," not "Riddle" (but it is one).

Metaphors

An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!

Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.
